Lexus GS F: The V8 Performance Sedan
The GS F was the high-performance version of the GS, a naturally aspirated V8 sport sedan from Lexus's F performance division.
Introduced in 2015, the GS F was Lexus's answer to the BMW M5 and Mercedes-AMG E63, taking the GS sport sedan and adding a 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 producing around 467 horsepower. In an era of turbocharging, its high-revving, atmospheric V8 was a distinctive, characterful choice.
The GS F featured a Torque Vectoring Differential, sport-tuned suspension, upgraded brakes, and aggressive styling, delivering engaging rear-drive performance with Lexus reliability and refinement.
Produced in limited numbers, the GS F is appreciated by enthusiasts as one of the last naturally aspirated V8 super sedans, blending performance with everyday usability.
